he never knew, but it was, he admit

She got impatient with her BOOK;
the author had not pleased her:
Rubbish" she cried. Sentiment

aside.
Sensible, too" said Capt. Berkeley;
"by Jove, she's a rara avis!"
Her sudden movement had awoke
her fluffy little rat Of a dog, and he be

sapphire in the sunlight, with black
fringed lashesl" Soldier as he was,
and carpet knight, he could do moth

arms, and kissed it and called it her
darling, and the little wretch found

that no one was there, but Tiny knew
better, and, harIag squeezed itself
through the rustic work, it vigorously
attacked the captains stocking-leg,

dulging in knickerbockers.
The little brute worried him so
terribly, that he beat a hasty retreat,
and left it in the possession OF the

drawing at his cigar like a man in
